    My wife asked me this question and I don't know the answer, but need to find out before going to Orientation next week followed by OTR training for a few weeks. The packing lists I have read don't mention towels, but so say "shower supplies" which may infer "pack your own towels"! Thanks

    I'd hope not. Even after multiple washes, I woudnt want my body touching the towels that touch the bodies of some these filthy animals called truck drivers. Bring your own towels

    If you mean Truck Stop showers, then yes. Bar soap, not always some are using liquid. Like the poster before said, bring your own towels. You never know if some $7hr employee skipped washing them and just popped the towels in the dryer.

    Yes they do, plus its good to have if you go thru a terminal of yours if they dont supply em. Also like what someone else said on the turnpike in ohio you can take showers for free at the service plazas on I80
     
    ATX Thanks this.

    Thanx for the speedy feedback. Apparently, we're not talking the Marriott here, lol! Note to self: pack towels!

    nope, wouldnt equate ts showers to marriott. would equate SOME of them to the "pay by the hour" motels.
